ISBN: 9781635051803 / Angielski / Miękka / 534 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the Foreword: The COODLE Society is a work of fiction, at least in part. It is another matter entirely in regard to the events described. Many actually came right from the daily headlines. These things were occurring with alarming frequency as the book was being written. There was no shortage of disturbing, even horrific, events to choose from to depict the deteriorating state of affairs in the world. That part of the story is all too real. As for the outcome, no one can say whether it is fact or fiction because it hasn't happened yet, but the... From the Foreword: The COODLE Society is a work of fiction, at least in part.

They had survived the three and a half week journey in the cramped, unhealthy pit of the cargo ship, enduring weather that was terrifying at times.
